The Great Divergence brings new insight to one of the classic questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe and East Asia? As Ken Pomeranz shows, as recently as 1750, parallels between these two parts of the world were very high in life expectancy, consumption, product and factor markets, and the strategies of households. Perhaps most surprisingly, Pomeranz demonstrates that the Chinese and Japanese cores were no worse off ecologically than Western Europe. Core areas throughout the eighteenth-century Old World faced comparable local shortages of land-intensive products, shortages that were only partly resolved by trade.

Pomeranz argues that Europe's nineteenth-century divergence from the Old World owes much to the fortunate location of coal, which substituted for timber. This made Europe's failure to use its land intensively much less of a problem, while allowing growth in energy-intensive industries. Another crucial difference that he notes has to do with trade. Fortuitous global conjunctures made the Americas a greater source of needed primary products for Europe than any Asian periphery. This allowed Northwest Europe to grow dramatically in population, specialize further in manufactures, and remove labor from the land, using increased imports rather than maximizing yields. Together, coal and the New World allowed Europe to grow along resource-intensive, labor-saving paths.

Meanwhile, Asia hit a cul-de-sac. Although the East Asian hinterlands boomed after 1750, both in population and in manufacturing, this growth prevented these peripheral regions from exporting vital resources to the cloth-producing Yangzi Delta. As a result, growth in the core of East Asia's economy essentially stopped, and what growth did exist was forced along labor-intensive, resource-saving paths--paths Europe could have been forced down, too, had it not been for favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas.

周锡瑞老师以前的1500字命题作文,我就不介绍书了。 十年之后,当彭慕兰先生《大分流》一书仍被不断提及和争论时,即便是持反对意见的学者,也不会不承认此书的经典意义。诚如许多学者已经提出的批评那样,我认为彭氏在此书中即便不是刻意“抬升”了中国各方面与西欧不相伯仲...

多年前,加州大学尔湾分校的彭慕然(Kenneth Pomeranz)的一部《大分流》在世界汉学界引起了巨大反响。一时间,赞成者和反对者论战不止,国内也是”群雄混战”,也算是近来学术界的奇观之一。彭慕然的书之所以能够如此轰动,归根结底乃是因为作者观点的与众不同。 传统上,中外...

彭在《大分流》中最重要的观点,是西欧通过海外殖民,并且率先使用了煤炭,解决了发展中遇到的生态限制。而中国遭遇了同样的生态限制,却在当年没有走上西欧的路。 彭指出,面临发展的生态限制,中国各地区有通过贸易来解决,但因为各地区的发展差异并不大,又没有武力强制,所...

文明演进类似物种进化——在没有强烈的外力推动下,文明体不可能出现跳跃式的发展,而是渐进地从一种文明形态转化到另一种文明形态。这种转型能否成功,在于文明体是否突破了某些关键的“阈门”。在15世纪以后的历史中,欧洲比中国更早地走向了工业化的资本主义,正因为前者...

He wants to provide some "surprising" answer after rejecting previous explanations, but his answer is banal.

作為史學傢,寫齣一部橫跨兩大洲、糅閤瞭經濟史、社會學的書,委實不易。307頁是書的一個小縮影,提齣瞭幾個有趣設想,撲張蔓延,闡之不盡是個遺憾。翻成中文本怕是很多人讀著要不喜歡瞭。

解釋為什麼工業革命發生在西歐而不是東亞,從糧食能源勞動力奢侈品消費等等各方麵事無巨細地比較瞭工業革命前的幾個地區,結論是早期歐洲根本沒優勢!全是靠瞭新大陸和黑奴。好書,值得一看,就是句子都好長好拗口,各種插入語看得好纍人…
